    • To highlight the lack of comprehensive documentation for nursing care in operating theatres.
    • To discuss the impact of poor documentation on the professional identity of theatre nurses.
    • To advocate for a clearer definition and recognition of the nursing role in surgical settings.

    • Operating theatre nursing care is largely undocumented.
    • Theatre nurses are often perceived as technicians or assistants rather than skilled professionals.
    • The absence of defined roles contributes to a diminished professional identity.

    Conclusions:

    • Comprehensive documentation is essential to define and validate the role of operating theatre nurses.
    • Improved documentation can elevate the professional status of nurses in surgical settings.
    • Recognizing and defining the nursing role is crucial for the advancement of surgical nursing practice.
